We have the full set of DVDs and have watched and loaned them out several times. Thank you for the reminder of this exceptional collection. We are encouraged to hear about Sami, another musician exploring and discovering. This comment comes right after hearing Johnny's performance of Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestra playing at Ikeda Theater in Mesa ... so that is pretty much on our mind. We spoke with friends again today about it, and all continue to be in amazement at the thrilling pianism communicated by such a young and extremely talented man. Thank you for bringing this gift to our family, friends, and musical circle on the Mother's Day concert. --The Wilsons Hi folks,
